Peggy: Normally, I’m not a big fan of street musicians, especially those who sidle up to you and start screaming, er, singing bloody murder into your ears. But some are okay to good. This guy was pretty good, plus he has a great face.

You’re right that women do this far less often and when they do it’s almost always part of a group that’s mostly men.

Great photo. Playing guitar is what I used to do before I retired. I like it when they at least ask you, ‘musica amigos?’ rather than subject you to Guantanamera or La Bamba one too many times and then ask for money ! What kind of music did this fellow play ?

Brent: Asking if you want to hear something is pretty rare hereabouts. Mostly they just start howling. This fellow was pretty good. He sang a couple ballad things I did not recognize, but he kept it to a reasonable — by my standards — decibel level.
